The camera cord has been found! Here are the pictures of our trip home to Utah.
One of the many fond memories for the grandchildren is watching cartoons with Grandpa on his bed.
Tyler headed up a lot work that needed to be done around the house. He finished the kitchen, which was halfway done being remodeled. He also helped clean out a lot of Roger's "treasures" from the backyard. "Another man's trash is another man's treasure!" Roger was Mr. Fix-it. Plus he loved to find things for free, or cheap, to restore and use again. The Bug is one thing staying….and Gavin sure loved playing in it!
Roger was an avid surfer growing up and has always had a love for it. Tyler and Will cleaned up his old boards to display at the service.
A lot of the week was used to go through photos. What a blessed time it was to hear lots stories and relive memories with everyone. Lots of crying and laughing!
This was a cookie jar with Oreos. When the lid opened, it belted out some surf tunes. Not the most quiet thing to be displaying, but a good memory!
The pall-bearers doing their job.
Roger is being laid to rest in an oak casket, one of his favorite woods.

So after the funeral was done and we were all at home visiting, I made the rounds checking on all the kids. Well, I couldn't find Gavin right away (which isn't a surprise.) I found him outside in the backyard, playing in the water….. (This was December 1 and not the warmest day!)
Heading to the airport…. It took a good week for us all to recover. We all went on very little sleep for about 2 weeks straight. It was worth it seeing so many family and friends!!
